Give the Gift of Connection
Coaching Your Kids to Make It Right | Ep. 111
Do you sometimes struggle to think of an appropriate consequence for your child’s misbehavior? Or dole out punishment only to have your child refuse to accept the punishment? Sigh.
Offering consistent and effective discipline can feel like an ongoing and overwhelming challenge.
In today’s episode, Chad Hayenga (Connected Families Director of Education & Equipping), and Katie Wetsell (Connected Families Certified Parent Coach) join Stacy Bellward (podcast host) to discuss what effective discipline can look like. (It IS possible!) The conversation explores the messages we send through discipline and how to coach children to be responsible for their actions.
In this podcast you’ll discover:
- 3 key questions to ask in any discipline situation
- how to work with your child as a team for more effective discipline
- the opportunity in discipline to offer and receive God’s grace and forgiveness
- how to help your child see the natural impacts of their behavior
- how to guide your child to “make it right”
- how “paused privileges” can help motivate a child
